The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 262 Has he ever been married?

Kunlun Kaiming's loud voice froze Zhou Yan's emotions: "Huh?!"

Kaiming, carrying the gourd given to him by Mudegong, shook it violently and declared emphatically:

"Huh? What do you mean 'huh'?!"

"You refined my essence and blood. Since we are related by blood, you should call me 'father'!"

"If you can't say it out loud."

"Call me father, and I wouldn't mind... Ah, then your sister is Jingwei, since she's my student. How about letting your eldest sister be your mother? What do you say?"

"Ok??"

The scholar in the blue robe felt no regret at having his essence blood swallowed; instead, he found it amusing.

The guilt in the young lord's heart crumbled little by little. His forehead twitched, he exhaled, put down what he was holding, stood up, turned around and strode away.

He turned back again, bent over, pressed his fingers on the ground, and tensed his thighs.

Ok? ? ?
"what? What?"

"Are you going to kneel down and kowtow now?"

"Oh, what a good child, sweetie."

"Just kowtow a few times."

The self-righteous and enlightened person hadn't even realized what was happening.

Suddenly, the young prefect sprang up, accelerating like a raging tyrannosaurus rex, charging towards him, leaping into the air, and spinning halfway through the air.

A spinning kick, imbued with the embarrassment and anger of being teased and the power transformed from the slight guilt over the depletion of his friend's life essence, landed squarely on Kaiming's face, which was practically screaming "Call me Dad!"

The veins on the young prefect's forehead bulged.

Behind them, a blood-red aura formed the figure of the warlord, who roared with his head held high.

"Go to hell!"

A moment later, the lion cat looked at the Kaiming Emperor embedded in the rock, and then at Kaiming's left arm that was sticking out. It made a contemptuous gesture: "Indeed, he is... one of Fuxi's people."

"you……"

Kaiming's arm hung down.

The lion cat was amazed.

Shaking itself off, it slowly walked over, ruffled Kaiming's hair with its paw, its cat face showing disgust, and turned to Zhou Yan, saying, "Meow??"

"Was this guy's brain also hung on a tree and dried out back then?"

"Does this guy always jump like this?"

"If this is how he and Emperor Fuxi interacted."

"How could he have lived so long?"

The lion cat was in a state of stagnation and incomprehension.

Is it possible that there are cats in this world that can dart around among those vengeful gods, moving with incredible agility and skill, without paying a heavy price?
He stared at the lying corpse of Kaiming and stretched out his cat paw.

The cat clasped its paws together and slowly pointed forward.

"Mahayana Buddhism..."

"Except for your ball—"

A hand silently pressed down on his head. The scholar in blue robes, who had been kicked away by the young Taoist and whose body was half embedded in the wall, sat up at some point and reached out to press down on his head.

With a smile on his face, he pressed a finger to his lips and said:

"Shh-"

A terrifying sense of oppression instantly arose in the lion cat's heart.

The lion cat sat obediently, its tail tucked between its legs. The scholar in the blue robe stretched, watched the angry young Taoist walk away, then sat cross-legged, his hair disheveled, one hand supporting his chin, and smiled:

"...Ugh, this is such a hassle."

"The biggest trouble and problem for the human race, the Yanhuang lineage, is their sense of responsibility and their strong sense of sentimentality. Ah, if we don't make a fuss like this, the atmosphere will definitely change, won't it?"

"Ha, these guys haven't changed much from back then to now."

The white jade lion cat's pupils contracted. Facing a truly powerful being of the same type, its fur stood on end, making the cat appear to swell to more than twice its normal size, looking fluffy and soft.

The lion cat murmured, "You, you were pretending on purpose?!"

Kaiming smiled and said, "Guess?"

He sat there cross-legged, one hand supporting his chin, a shadow spreading behind him. This handsome yet unkempt scholar in a blue robe was not represented by a human figure, but by a nine-headed tiger.

It has the body of a tiger, but its nine heads are human-shaped, and each face is different.

It exudes a completely different charm.

The lion cat is a sacred animal in Buddhism, and naturally possesses the supernatural power of the Buddha's eye. In an instant, it glimpsed what enlightenment looked like.

The nine faces were all human, but each one had a completely different temperament. Some had a stern and serious face with their eyes constantly scanning the surroundings; others had angry eyes and held golden chains formed from the laws of heaven in their mouths, exuding power without anger.

Some faces are composed of ever-changing stars and clouds;
Some have gentle features, large earlobes, and notes that seem to flicker in their throats.

One of them had a face that was half charred and broken like ashes, and the other half had a face that was as tender as a new sprout.

Some are like giant mirrors, some have their eyes closed, their faces compassionate, and their mouths covered with fine runes. Another is shrouded in mist, where only a hand constantly writing about the future and an eye that sees into the past can be seen.

These heads flashed by in an instant, each appearing incomplete and blurred at different levels. The Nine-Headed Enlightened One, a great god of Kunlun, whose authority was unknown, yet the lion cat had just glimpsed that each of the nine heads possessed a different spirit and aura. Was this truly the mythical form of the Nine-Headed Enlightened One?
The so-called witty and scathing Chisongzi, the enlightened scholar, was merely an incarnation.

The white jade lion cat lowered its head and glimpsed this ancient and terrifying god, even more ancient and terrifying than the true form of Manjushri Bodhisattva. It trembled all over, while Kaiming opened the gourd in front of the lion cat.

The nine illusory human faces behind Kaiming flashed by, one of which, which had been blurry, suddenly became clear, opened its eyes, and shot out a sliver of sharp light. The surrounding air swirled slightly, accompanied by faint Kunlun celestial music.

The power of the Five Elements Qi returned to Kaiming's body.

The scholar in the blue robe stretched comfortably and said casually, "In that case, we've finally reclaimed some of our authority and power, so it can be considered acceptable..."

The voices of enlightenment froze.

Within the memories of that skull, a deep-seated, excruciating pain attacked Kaiming.

The face of the enlightened deity was 'distorted'. Although he had not personally experienced it, the experience, which was similar to being an incarnation, still made the face of the enlightened deity freeze, his eyes widen, and tears flow down.

"Ugh...!!!"

"How did that peacock die?!"

"What supernatural power did you encounter before you died?!"

The white jade lion cat trembled all over, curled up into a ball of fluff, and said:

"Mahayana Buddhism."

"Except for you, Ball Ball."

"Ah, is that so?"

Having absorbed the essence of one of the nine heads and experienced the most horrific ordeal of the peacock's current form, Kaiming, who had regained some of his strength, wept as he turned into snow-white ashes, choking out:
"In the end, I couldn't dodge it..."

………………

Regardless of how this matter unfolded.

Kaiming absorbed a fragment of his peacock soul, which restored some of his confidence. Zhou Yan, on the other hand, followed the method taught by Kaiming to refine and transform the primordial energy of the two jade scrolls, and vaguely sensed that his jade scrolls had undergone a transformation.

Zhou Yan pointed his fingers like a knife and made a vague slash at a huge rock in the distance.

It wasn't that much magical power was used; rather, it was the application of the metal element under the Peacock Bird's innate Qi Great Capture technique. A very subtle and sharp white-gold energy flashed by, and the boulder silently split in two, the cross-section as smooth as a mirror.

"The cost of using the jade talisman has been reduced somewhat."

"The casting speed has also increased..."

Zhou Yan clenched his fist, feeling his own transformation, and pondered: "If that's the case, absorbing the fake Bai Ze Book can, in turn, improve the quality and supernatural power of my current jade scroll."

"From this point of view, my relationship with them is essentially one of irreconcilable conflict."

"Could it be that this volume is the foundation of the Bai Ze Book, while the others are the separated power? With the help of my jade scroll, I can absorb their power and bring the Bai Ze Book back to its peak?"

"From this perspective, who is the prey and who is the hunter?"

"It's hard to say."

Zhou Yan and Kai Ming, knowing the great calamity that was about to happen, knew that leading the thousand people of Gelang Village on foot was extremely dangerous. They spent some time escorting the thousand people to another village.

Consort Shen and Xu Zhilan parted ways with Zhou Yan and the others from the village.

The former goes without saying, while the latter said she hoped to go to Chengdu, the largest city in Sichuan, to meet her teacher and younger sister.

Zhou Yan changed his Taoist robe into a set of close-fitting clothes and carried a three-pointed double-edged sword on his back. Kai Ming carried Zhao Zilong's Dragon Gallant Silver Spear on his back. They used illusion magic to cover their identities to avoid trouble. While thinking about whether to go to the Buddhist sect or the Taoist sect first, they chatted with Xu Zhilan.

She said she was still a little worried about the teacher.

She wouldn't have run back from Chengdu in Shu County if it weren't for her younger sister.

Zhou Yan asked, "Your teacher?"

Xu Zhilan looked at the young Taoist's face, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she reached out to tuck a stray hair behind her ear. She said in a gentle voice, "My teacher is not some great scholar from Sichuan. Like me, she is a woman, but she has a wealth of knowledge."

“Bronze relics were discovered previously.”

“It looks just like your bronze bird, Daoist Master.”

Zhou Yan and Kaiming paused in their steps.

A human body discovered bronze artifacts?!
The enemy wanted to flood the land of Sichuan, and finally use the souls of millions of people as sacrifices to hold a shamanistic ceremony to revive the bronze tree and guide the three-legged golden crow to show its true power. The fire of the three-legged golden crow would be enough to destroy the entire human world.

Bronze relics... that ancient lineage and civilization must be related to the other party's plan. This teacher of Xu Zhilan actually managed to get there on her own? She's quite the expert!
Zhou Yan and Kai Ming immediately decided to meet up with this gentleman.

Zhou Yan said, "I don't know how to address you?"

Xu Zhilan said, "It's from Sichuan, Su Xiaoshuang."

Zhou Yan's thoughts stirred slightly.

He had heard this name from Shen Cangming. She was Su Hexuan's younger sister, the Su Xiaomei that Shen Cangming mentioned. She had written to Shen Cangming, but they never got in touch because of Shen Cangming's downfall at that time.

This last letter was passed from Su Hexuan to Shen Cangming.

Zhou Yan once saw Shen Cangming practice his swordsmanship and then read through letters alone, his expression complex and somber, completely different from his usual heroic and austere demeanor.

Su Xiaoshuang, could it really be such a coincidence?!

The young Taoist priest paused, then blurted out:

"This Su Xiaoshuang... senior, is she married?"

Xu Zhilan was stunned by the sudden, seemingly unrelated sentence. Then, as if she had thought of something, her face flushed red. Shen Fei was also stunned. Kaiming and the white jade lion cat on their heads turned their heads in unison, revealing remarkably similar expressions.

"...Wow!!!"
